Here’s what Mandel had to say about the Wolfpack:

Four-year Coastal Carolina QB Grayson McCall has the tools to shine in OC Robert Anae’s offense, especially with help from All-ACC WR Kevin Concepcion and Duke RB Jordan Waters. Four returning O-line starters are joined by Notre Dame C Zeke Correll. The defense will miss stars Payton Wilson and Shyheim Battle but gets back CB Aydan White, S Devan Boykin and DE Davin Vann and LB Caden Fordham. (Athletic)
